“Elizabeth was patient and understanding with my dog Day 1 was very anxious for me cuz my dog always has "stranger danger" alert on but it didn't take awhile for my dog to get used to her and they became best friends right away! She sends updates and very prompt/ attentive when there was issues with my dog. She definitely knew what to do. would 100% recommend 😀”


3. Samara A.

“We had a last minute cancellation 30 minutes before a sitter was to arrive. Samara responded to our request immediately and was quick to set us up to watch Poe. Poe was staying home for the day after an emergency care visit, and Samara was so kind and attentive. We informed her our concern with his loss of appetite and she took time to gently hand feed him during our suggested meal times. We were sent picture and video updates to ease our mind throughout the day. So thankful for her care and we hope to book her to watch Poe again in the future!”




4. Meric P.



“Meric was awesome with my little Morty. It’s the first time I used a dog sitter and Morty is pretty timid around strangers, but he warmed right up to Meric. Meric was respectful of my home and sent updates throughout the day - thanks Meric!”


5. James D.

“James did an incredible job pet sitting our two pups while we were away! He was incredibly communicative and proactively reached out to provide daily updates which was so appreciated. Additionally, he left our apartment just as he found it! We would 100% work with James again for future bookings!”


6. Jordan A.

“Jordan was a great sitter for our Finn! She was communicative and took photos. She was flexible to assist us on short notice. We used her for house/dog sitting, and she also treated our apartment well, cleaned up after herself. Would highly recommend!”


7. Fernando O.

“Milena & Fernando are simply the best. They house sat our apartment for the weekend to take care of our 10 week old puppy who needed 24/7 attention and they were so great, trustworthy, caring, and responsive. They gave us updates with lots of pictures and videos all the time, reinforced everything we’ve been trying to teach him, and even taught him new tricks. Our puppy loved them and we feel so lucky we found them. 10/10 recommend”


8. Emily B.

“Emily was a GREAT sitter who stepped in at the last minute to sit with Samantha at my house for a business trip that I had. She is a true professional, communicative, prompt, and so easy going. Samantha was well taken care of, she sent me pics of feedings and fun and the house was clean and well maintained. I'll definitely be using her again!!!”


9. Emily O.


“Emily dog sat our 5 month old Bernedoodle puppy and we could tell right away we were in good hands with her. She is experienced, communicative and truly caring toward our dog. We will definitely book her again!”


10. Marquis S.

“Marquis has proven to be an exceptional caretaker for Jax. With his genuine love for dogs and his responsible and attentive nature, Marquis has become a trusted and reliable choice for any pet owner in need of a dog sitter. I’d highly recommend him and I’ll be sure to book him again to watch Jax.”


11. Angelina C.

“Angelina was super reliable! I’m a nervous dog mom, so it was nice to know that Yoko was in good hands. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girl. We’ll definitely be booking her again soon.”


12. Dee B.

“I couldn’t be more grateful for the care Dee provided to my cat, Ash, over the past four days! From the moment I met Dee, I could tell she was passionate about animals and really understood their needs. She kept me updated with adorable photos and sweet messages, letting me know how Ash was doing. It was clear that Dee went above and beyond to make sure Ash felt loved and comfortable while I was away. When I returned, Ash was calm, happy, and seemed to have enjoyed her time with Dee. I highly recommend Dee for anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter—she truly treated Ash like her own baby!”


13. Adeanna K.

“Adeanna was fantastic and we cannot recommend her more! She is kind and communicative, we received daily of updates about how our dog Muppet was doing during the week she watched him. It was our first time leaving Muppet, and we are so glad we had Adeanna to stay and take care of him. She is extremely polite and professional, and took wonderful care of our pup as well as our home.”


14. Susi M.

“Susi is not only great with both our cat and dog...she goes above and beyond to help in times of need! We were traveling for an extended 10 day period and decided to book Susi to stay at our apartment for the time we were gone with our cat Stevie. Stevie always liked Susi but was clearly immediately at ease with Susi living in our place, constantly snuggling with her and showing affection. About 4 days into the trip, a massive storm hit and our balcony flooded. It caused flooding in our downstairs neighbor's apt and if it wasn't caught right away, would've flooded ours. Susi spotted it and figured out how to coordinate with the Super and neighbor to make sure the situation was under control. Without Susi we wouldve had a MUCH bigger problem to deal with. We're so appreciative of Susi not only for how much our pets love her but for treating our home like her own! 10/10 would recommend Susi!”


15. Emily F.

“Emily was wonderful! She was kind enough to help out at the last minute and come and dog sit my puppy as I had to go into the office unexpectedly. Emily was super accommodating, she sent lots of updates and my puppy Winnie looked very happy and comfortable. Thank you Emily!”


16. Kinga B.
“Kinga has been very caring, loving and trustworthy when looking after my two high-energy shepherds on multiple occasions! I can always rely on her to look after my dogs especially last-minute as her schedule is flexible.”


17. Dr Tanishka B.

“We couldn’t ask for a better sitter! It was clear the cats were well loved in our absence (we were gone almost 3 weeks). Tanishka was super communicative, considerate, and overall a fantastic person to look after our cats. One of our cats is older and has accidents - Tanishka was super understanding and was always looking to make sure both cats were happy, warm and loved. She’ll be my first call as soon as I book my next trip.”


18. BriChe & Avonia L.
“Bri’Che is a pretty great house sitter! From the meet and greet, I could tell that she’s very detailed and wants to make sure that she follows any specific medical/safety needs and care instructions carefully. She asked about any preexisting routines for my dog which is so super important to help keep her on track. She will cater to your dogs’ needs as she has mine!”


19. Brianna P.


“Brianna is always so wonderful with Ziggy. She listens to every detail and is really attentive. We had to leave our girl overnight while I had a procedure done. It’s such a relief knowing we’re in good hands with Brianna and don’t have to worry. Couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter!!”
